$59/Month for iPhone 8 with $200 Gift Card (24 Month Contract) - Optus @ Harvey Norman

2300

Guys, I was at Harvey Norman Adelaide City Center Store comparing iPhone prices
and the salesperson told about $200 gift card if I switch to Optus since I had an awesome prepaid annual deal with Kogan, I let him amuse me
But pulled it off he gave me 20 Gb data with iPhone 8 space gray and $200 gift card.
I noticed since then Optus have started doing the deal on their website but its missing $200 gift card.
I found cis on Optus website her check it out https://cdn.optusdigital.com/opfiles/Shop/All/cis/Cis%20Docu…

        • @Munki: ditto. No one calls nowadays so visual voicemail is pointless. Don’t even know how to enable it on my iPhone

      • I don't think any of our telcos have visual voicemail for Android anyway.

    • Sell the phone and get your U11.

      • I was going to do that but I ended up cancelling the f&f contract.

        • Why would you do that? You end up paying a massive ETC!!!

        • +1

          @TomGum: Nah didn't get any charges cause the phone wasn't delivered yet. ;)

    Good deal but the phone is a drag. iPhone X is where it’s at

    • Right until the next android phones release in 2 months time and show up with all of the same features and then some. The iPhone X battery time blows for an AMOLED phone too.

  • +1

    Just wish Telstra would match it!

    • I'm gonna try asking.

      • When? Let me know how you go.

        • Just asked one rep, didn't want to play ball. Tried to offer me the Friends and Family offer as an Xmas deal…Lame. I'm gonna try in store. Will keep you posted when I go.

        • Went into a telstra store and they weren't able to match optus either. Damn it.

  • Is this offer available in any vic Harvey Norman?

    • yeah, want to know this one as well

    • +1

      Sure is! Any HN store til tomorrow :)

      • thanks

      • So is this confirmed, that this HN deal finishes up tomorrow?

        • I can confirm yes, finishes 11/12

    • Yep, I’m just signing up right now at the Nunawading HN and apparently so many people signed up that they ran out of phones, gift cards and SIM cards (they had to get more from the optus store). I have to come back on Monday to pick up the gift card and wait 2-3 days for optus to send me the phone. The sales rep was confused as to why so many people are signing up today!

      • Did they give u a case and screen protector in nunawading as well?

        • No I didn’t ask

        • They said they will need to ask the boss when I pick up the phone.

  • Optus reception has gotten slowly worse indoors over 3 years and we live on a big hill in Pimpama (5 min N of Dreamworld/ fastest growing region in Oz./ Former Long time satisfied Vaya customer). Changed to Aldi mobile/Telstra FAR better reception. Optus what are u spending our money on guys? Cmon Really??

  • +3

    So It will be 59 * 24 = 1416 - 200 - 1079 = 137/24 ~ $6 per month.

    • I'm guessing the $1079 is the price of the phone alone, right?

  • +6

    I got on this bargain yesterday. The HN I went to seemed to think that a free case and screen protector was also part of the deal.

    Here is my invoice https://imgur.com/a/IdvmL

    • What information did you need to bring with you to sign a contract at Harvey Norman? Ie bank statements or payslips?

      • Drivers license and Medicare. Standard 100 points.

    • +1

      Thank u - showed this in-store and got case+tempered glass free (after salesperson denied).

      Brought in passport+bank statement for proof of address and that was sufficient.

      • Which store?

      • What case did you get?

        • Not sure, phone was for my wife and she chose a wallet case.

          We still haven’t picked it up. She is porting from an MVNO and they’re not open Sundays so Optus weren’t able to finalise port request.

          Mrs has to come back tomorrow to finalise contract+port. Was advised that she’ll be eligible for $200 card as deal finishes tomorrow.

    • Wow, not even a cheap case, a Lifeproof case? Nice pick up.

    • +2

      Did you get $200 card too?

  • Greedy Apple not selling iPhone 8 because of X
    They thought they could keep the same frontal design for 3 years

  • What is wrong with Harvey Norman?
    Called the maribyrnong store 4 times to try to get through to the phone department, got transferred and hung up on all four times :/

    • +1

      So ring and tell them they keep hanging up on you?

      • +1

        I did, it was the same lady every time and I told her every time.

    • +2

      They knew you are from OzBargain, the Professionals.

      • +2

        Maybe they are on Optus?

  • Anyone know if this can be claimed through Optus' $99 upgrade path?

    • New customers only :)

      • Thanks man or woman. Damnit.

  • Until when is this offer?

    • +1

      Tomorrow

  • +3

    have fun with that awesome Optus reception… 99.5% coverage of the population my ass. Can't even get 3g reception here and we're 1km away from the tower.

  • Where are you at?

  • +1

    I am interested the Mate 10 Pro. I know it will give you the Huawei 360 camera for free if you sign up in Optus store or online. Anyone know HN can do the same?

    • Do HN even have the mate 10 pro?

      • Sure do!

    • +1

      I just signed yesterday in local HN. the mate 10pro not available in the store but they will prepare it in 3 days and will notice you once the phone arrive. the camera is in the phone package. so you will get it definitely.

      • Thx man

  • No stocks in Chadstone
    Only two guys work in the mobile phone side
    They seem to be too busy
    Anyone can tell me where do they have stock?

    • What happened when they had no stock, did they let you sign up and order it in or did they just refuse?

    • +2

      They will still sign you up and call you when stock arrives. You will be issued with the gift card and sim card on the spot.

      • I was told u get the gc when u get the phone? Just so if they couldn't get the phone and so contract is void then they haven't just gave you $200 free? Anyone confirm?

        • They ran out of the gift card at the Nunawading store but said that I can come and pick it up next week. Nothing about getting it with the phone as the phone is sent from optus and the gift card is from HN.

        • Just signed up and didn't get a phone yet because they had no stock but I got the $200 card

        • @nix1016: Same store and I was told the gc was also issued by optus not by HN. So i need to pick it up when I get the phone which will also be sent to the store. At the end of the day, I don't care who and which is what, I just want 2 phones and 2x 200 gc.

        • @Frozensage: Yeah, they probably get credited the $200 from Optus as referral commission but the actual card is a HN issued EFTPOS card. I got a call a bit later on the day after I signed up telling me the giftcard is available again and I went back into the store to pick it up. Still haven't gotten my phone yet but I was told it was usually about a 3 day wait, but may get delayed up to 5 days. Hopefully I can get it this week. I'm sure they'll give you the giftcard when you go pick it up anyway as long as they already issued it on the 10th. They probably just said that you can pick it up with the phone because they ran out on the day.

    • HN highpoint.
      Only silver and gold available though.

  • can you still get the gift card if moving from a BYO plan?

    • for sure.

      • No you cannot :(

        Prepaid to plan customers, but not BYO sim to plans

    • I called and asked my local HN, they said no if you're on a BYO plan.

      • Just chatted with optus online and they said they can change over from BYO sim plans to this one with no cancellation charges. Only no gift card

        • That's what I was specifically responding about, cause you were asking about the gift card…

  • Probably a nope but worth asking - could this be combined with the Amex offer? I. E. Pay $400 towards my optus bill at HN and receive $100 cash back?

    • How can you? You are paying only $59 at HN.

    • You are paying Optus when you pay your bill. You are not paying HN. They don’t process bill payments. You can’t get the amex offer.

  • I have compared all those phones on GSM arena and none of these appear to be any better in camera or screen comparison to the LG G4. Maybe a touch faster.

    Maybe the virgin deal with $100 less but greater flexibility in phones would suit others.

    • +2

      The u11's camera has been touted as one of the best…

    • +1

      The G4 had a good-ish camera but definitely not better than these… Not too sure what you're smoking

    • +1

      Out of curiosity, what exactly is it that you are comparing for camera or screen? If the camera and screen on a flagship phone from this year can't beat a flagship phone from 2 years ago, then no one would be buying the latest phones!

    • +1

      I have lost trust on LG phones after the infamous boot-looping issue that I faced on my much beloved LG G4 then. I had to send that phone back to Kogan which, fortunately, gave me all refund after verifying the issue. That was a heart-breaking experience and hassle when I was just 7-8 months into the phone usage. Probably never ever LG again. It was a great phone otherwise.

      • I haven't experienced that first hand since I owned a LG G2 which didn't suffer from boot loops but I believe the boot looping days are behind them now. I personally think the LG V30 is definitely worth a consideration in the current market.

  • So apparently no stock anywhere. All raincheck and even though optus have promised stock, still no guarantee ? Reps words.

    • There is plenty of stock at domanyne auburn.

      • did you get it from them? iphone 8?

        • Correct

    • We don't need the stock there and then, can process a raincheck just has to be done by tomorrow

  • This expires tomorrow?

  • +1

    How much extra for 128gb iphone?

    • +2

      256GB is an extra $10 per month.

  • Amazingly great deal for TODAY, but seeing how plans and particularly data are getting cheaper, this deal might not hold as great for 24 months from now. Too long a commitment in this every changing world of telco offerings.

    • Yeah if the TPG plans end up being as good as TPG is suggesting they will be. Unfortunately Darwin wont be getting TPG for a while.

  • How long will HN offer the EFTPOS card deal for?

    • Read the original post: tomorrow.

    • Until close of business tomorrow :)

      • But someone here mentioned that most of the HN stores don't have iPhone 8 in stock.

        • Doesn't matter, they can raincheck the phone and still honor the deal. Phone will arrive in 3-5 days

        • @jacksbargain:
          I got told 2-3 days but don’t mind waiting a week or 2. For what I was paying and how much data I get it’s worth the price.

  • Just stepped out from a HN store in regional NSW. They told me that they cannot combine this plan with 200$ gift card. It seems it is not available in regional areas.

    • Maybe they are getting confused with the regional offer, HN regional stores get a $200 credit to bill. This doesnt apply to the $59 plan.

      The $200 gift card defs applies, ask for a manager :)

      • What's "regional" offer? Never heard of it!
